<P>It should be noted that the Sheriff called the county they lived, "a Conservative one"; that they embraced the Confederate flag and flew it daily (proudly), stock piled guns, built bombs, started a militia, bombed a woman's health clinic, bombed a Muslim place of worship, and like those who attack me for posting these FACTS (not FAKE NEWS as one claims racism is.....) are white males, just like most all mass murderers.&nbsp; Do we have a problem in this country?&nbsp; Darn straight, and it may include White Privilege.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>It's interesting to note when Islamic terrorists are attacking innocent people, many Americans shout, "what are the good Muslims doing about it"?&nbsp; So what are White Conservatives doing about these hate crimes?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>And before foolish people claim my comment is racist for singling out whites, the vast majority&nbsp;of these crimes are committed by "white" Conservatives; it's not racist to point out the truth; just as those who claim most shootings in Chicago are committed by blacks.</P>Sun, 18 Mar 2018 15:12:03 GMThttps://community.aarp.org/t5/Politics-Current-Events/FBI-US-hate-crimes-rise-for-second-straight-year/m-p/1983096#M808530Centristsin20102018-03-18T15:12:03ZRe: FBI: US hate crimes rise for second straight yearhttps://community.aarp.org/t5/Politics-Current-Events/FBI-US-hate-crimes-rise-for-second-straight-year/m-p/1983118#M808547
<P>And my question is: Where is the faith-based community, and why aren't they doing more to combat this culture of hatred and violence? For that matter, why aren't they speaking out against gun violence, an promoting sensible gun laws? After all, churches were targeted in several places.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>In some communities we do see acts of kindness from one faith community to another that was victimized. But I'm speaking of an organized movement like they do for pro-life. They turn out in large&nbsp;numbers to pro-life rallies for protecting the unborn. What about a pro-life rally for the living? Don't all people have a right to life without living in fear? How about it? Where are you faith-based community?</P>Sun, 18 Mar 2018 15:56:19 GMThttps://community.aarp.org/t5/Politics-Current-Events/FBI-US-hate-crimes-rise-for-second-straight-year/m-p/1983118#M808547MaVolta2018-03-18T15:56:19ZRe: FBI: US hate crimes rise for second straight yearhttps://community.aarp.org/t5/Politics-Current-Events/FBI-US-hate-crimes-rise-for-second-straight-year/m-p/1983120#M808549
